I notice with satisfaction you still tenaciously learn UNIX despite my efforts to let the subject look boring and hard to grasp - good!
What? Unix is great fun! I just can't get anyone else to agree.

I don't know Macs version of UNIX at all...
I am told it's mostly like FreeBSD.

Code:
ln -s /opt/local/bin/ruby1.9 /usr/bin/ruby

Well, we want ruby1.9 as the target file, right? Shouldn't it be the opposite?
Here's a couple thoughts I've had:
Will it break anything if I simply change the names? Change ruby to ruby1.8, and change ruby1.9 to ruby? I guess it would likely break ports.
Or what if I invoked gem1.9 to install the script? Actually, let me try that.
Code:
$ sudo gem1.9 install scrabble-solver
Password:
Fetching: scrabble-solver-0.2.gem (100%)
Successfully installed scrabble-solver-0.2
1 gem installed
Installing ri documentation for scrabble-solver-0.2...
Installing RDoc documentation for scrabble-solver-0.2...

Two heads are better than one! It never occurred to me that the names were the problem. I wonder why they attached the version number to the filename in this case?
Well ok, enough of that. I'll no doubt be back once I've had a chance to look closely at this scrabble-solver script. It doesn't look much like a ksh script, but I can already see it looks in the wrong place for the dictionary.

NAME
dh-make-ruby - build Debian source package from Ruby library USAGE
dh-make-ruby [OPTIONS] TARBALL|DIRECTORY DESCRIPTION
dh-make-ruby will create a basic Debian source package from a tarball named TARBALL generated with gem2tgz, or from a DIRECTORY containing Ruby code and metadata in a .gemspec file. OPTIONS
-p PACKAGE, --package PACKAGE Uses PACKAGE as package name. By default, new packages will be named as ruby-$gem, where $gem is the upstream name. If the package is mainly used as a library, then it should use the default. On the other hand, if the packages is mainly used as an application, then you should drop the ruby- prefix by using this option an explicit package u. --ruby-versions VERSIONS Ruby versions to build the package for. This is used to generate the X-Ruby-Versions: field in the source package, that can later be used to tune this value. By default, gem2deb generates a package that works on all known Ruby versions, but it might be necessary to only build the package for Ruby 1.8, for example (using --ruby-versions "ruby1.8"). -h, --help Displays the help -v, --version Displays version information and exits.
